It may be somewhat surprising to learn that a number of Andersenâs tales were published in America even before being published in Andersenâs native Denmark
According to Jean Hersholtâs introduction to The Andersen-Scudder Letters , University of California Press, 1949, ten tales were published by Horace Elisha Scudder, Andersenâs American editor, publisher and translator, in the above mentioned Magazine , in the years 1868-1870
After the Magazine closed down, Scudder published four other tales, in the years 1871-1873, in Scribnerâs Monthly, an illustrated magazine for the people : ââ (in four installments), ââ, ââ, and ââ
The hypertext of these four tales is based on the images found in the Making of America collection of Cornell University Library

Jack Schaefer, Teller of Tales
Author of western classic "Shane", "Monte Walsh," and other westerns. Died in 1991.
Jack Schaefer, Teller of Tales by Louis Torres [Introduction] 'Who is this Jack Schaefer?' asked the seasoned proprietor of a secondhand book shop on Manhattan's Upper West Side
A consummate craftsman, he wrote moving tales about characters of fierce individualism and courage
He wrote sympathetic tales not only about childhood but about old age: no American fiction writer has had keener insight into the need of children for heroic exemplars, or of the need of the very old for autonomy
He wrote parables, humorous tales, a Civil War novel, and two novels for children
The theme Schaefer has begun to delineate in these opening paragraphs is one to which he will return in later tales: the formative influence a heroic figure has upon the young
I return to it whenever I need a bit of inspiration or a boost of energy.' For him, as for countless others, the book's message is 'as deep and vital as the man it describes.' [See Simmons's '.'] [Excerpted from Louis Torres, 'Jack Schaefer, Teller of Tales, ' Part I, Aristos , October 1996; the remaining sections of Part I are Other Tales of Youth; Tales of Old Age; 'Kittura Remsberg'; Other Stories and Short Novels; and Company of Cowards .] Granting Schaefer His Due [From the conclusion to 'Jack Schaefer, Teller of Tales'] In writing this appreciation of Jack Schaefer, I have intended primarily to introduce his work to general readers, especially those who value inspiring fiction about people 'cut from noble cloth.' It has been my purpose, as well, to stimulate interest in Schaefer's work among scholars and critics who have not been aware of it
